Dog Symptoms And Diagnosis
Was it Tick Fever or Detergent Poisoning that killed the Dog?
I had a dog, a red Miniature Pinscher to be precise. He died a month ago. His initial diagnosis was Canine Ehrlichiosis (tick fever). The veterinarian did a post-mortem and found his stomach and liver to be hard, crumpled and yellow. Thus, it was concluded he was killed by toxin poisoning. Our dog lived near the laundry machine, so Detergent Poisoning was a possibility.
However, I did a search on the Internet about Detergent Poisoning. The syptoms listed were vomiting, lack of appetite, drooling, muscle weakness, depression, seizures, collapse, coma, and burns to the mouth. On the contrary, the symptoms of ehrlichiosis (displayed by him):
fever
lethargy (mild to severe)
pallor (pale gums or tongue)
breathlessness
brown urine
Additionally, he had blood in his urine. So as one might have noticed, the dog had displayed more symptoms consistent with ehrlichiosis.
I’m not sure if the dog died of ehrlichiosis or detergent poisoning. Could someone please offer an opinion?
Toxin poisoning doesn’t only mean something that would have killed him in a day or two. To see that sort of change to the liver, it could have been something he was ingesting over a long period of time. Could have been advil or tylenol, could have been a bad diet, could have been something he was sensitive to because he had a poor liver to begin with.
What you are describing could well have been a chronic condition (including chronic infection with tick fever, which eventually causes organ failure.). Liver failure often isn’t noticed by owners until it has progressed too far to save the animal.
Also, if he had liver problems, the medications for the tick fever may not have been properly metabolized and that could have killed him.
You’ll probably never know for sure, other than knowing his liver was very bad. If he had blood in his urine, his kidneys weren’t doing very well either.
